Our Verdict

"Bougie"

At a median of $39/m², the pricing is undeniably BOUGIE and reflects the premium you pay for views and quiet. Our neighborhood analysis shows that while you're paying a steep price, the investment outlook is rock solid because the inventory of historic hilltop apartments is strictly capped. It is an expensive trade-off for safety and status, but for those who can afford the $31.5 - $51/m² range, it remains the city's most stable prestige market.

The Vibe:Living here means mastering hill starts and accepting that your calves will always be sore from the 20-degree inclines. The crowd is a mix of Amazon mid-managers and old-money residents who congregate near the 2 and 13 bus lines. Street parking near Kerry Park is a competitive sport, and the local aesthetic is dominated by century-old brick and strictly maintained hedges.

Locals Ask

Does average rent include a parking spot?

Rarely; most older buildings in the $31.5 - $51/m² range charge an extra $150-$250 for a dedicated slot if they have one at all.

Is the m² stats higher for Upper or Lower Queen Anne?

Upper Queen Anne commands the highest m² stats for charm and quiet, while Lower Queen Anne (Uptown) prices are driven by newer luxury builds.

What is the investment outlook for 1-bedroom units?

Extremely stable; the proximity to the Gates Foundation and SLU ensures a constant stream of high-income tenants regardless of market dips.

How do these prices compare to Capitol Hill?

Queen Anne is consistently more expensive on a per-meter basis because it lacks the high-density inventory found in the Pike-Pine corridor.

Is it walkable for people without cars?

Only if you live near the top of the hill or at the very bottom; the 'Counterbalance' incline makes walking between the two a chore.
